Manager Zeppy Deshotel moved his La Claire Lynx (79-75) up in the standings on the strength of better pitching... the Lynx were 11 games out last year in fourth place... this season they improved to second place and lost out by only 4 games, tied with Chicopee... a bad 8-18 June and 7-11 in September cost them dearly in the pennant race... sharp pitching with a 3.05 team ERA (4th) and 188 roundtrippers (8th) did the job... Pat Kovacs (18-11/2.14) and Rance Raymond (18-14/2.79) were the aces of the staff... leading the La Claire attack were the trio of All-Star SS Jarred O'Neal, who hit .327 with 32 homers, 108 RBIs and 89 runs... All-Star RF Carroll Candy with a .322 BA, 22 home runs, 69 RBIs and 90 runs scored... and LF Kelly Chamberlain with 18 homers, 85 runs batted in and 79 scored, while batting .270.
